Self-sustainability vs. Humanity

When looking further into the topic of Gandhi, it is somewhat difficult to not get overwhelmed with his many ideas, movements, and beliefs. The passion and discipline that he had was something that very few people would ever consider pursuing. Two of his ideas that fall under satyagraha stood out to me. Firstly, Gandhi stood for self-sustainability. He believed that all people should not have to rely on others, even when it came to making his own clothing. I wonder, however, if this has any impact on his belief in humanity. He believed that you should recognize the humanity in all people, including their beliefs, in their actions, and possibly their particular skills. If people began to be entirely self-sustainable in today's society, there would be a major decline in the need for farmers and their goods, for example, causing a drastic change in other people's lives. I feel that if these two beliefs ever did cross in this way, it would require every person's conformity to truly not be harmful.
